Miedema Becomes First Dutch Player to Reach 100 International Goals

Manchester City forward Vivianne Miedema has made history, becoming the first male or female player from the Netherlands to score 100 goals at senior international level.

The landmark strike came during the Netherlands’ UEFA Euro 2025 Group D opener against Wales. Miedema, already the nation’s all-time leading goalscorer, marked the occasion with a goal of real quality – a curled effort into the far corner after cutting onto her right foot.

The finish was reminiscent of her award-winning strike for City against Aston Villa earlier this year, which was voted the Women’s Super League Goal of the Season.

Miedema’s 100 goals have come in just 126 appearances since her first senior international goal in 2013. Remarkably, none of those goals have come from the penalty spot, underlining her elite goalscoring instinct in open play.

Manchester City have congratulated the 28-year-old on her achievement, with Miedema now etching her name in Dutch football history.
